Snorkeling was fun for all! - We had a wonderful time on this snorkel trip with Chac Choc Tours. The guys were super friendly and took special care of our diverse group. We had kids, uncle, parents, and grandparents - so they had their hands full watching over 8 people. Would highly recommend this trip/tour.

The best snorkeling tour company in Q-Roo! - Worth every penny. The tour was exactly as stated, we spent all our time in the water which was glorious. The staff were fun and professional and the places they took us were beautiful. Sandwich and beer in the water ay the end was awesome! I did a “snorkeling tour” in Cancun two days later and it was a huge scam where they dropped you off the whole day for shopping and buffet of hotdogs. This tour is the real deal - do it! You will be so happy!

A special day in one of the best places of the mexican carribean - It has been a special occasion for a friend's birthday. The boat people were friendly and professional. There are to little downsides to this still beautiful experience; probably they should stop a little longer at the snorkeling spots and a little less at el cielito (although it's lovely), and the boarding dock is very far from San Miguel.

Buyers better Beware - Buyers Beware. We booked this tour on a certain time as we were coming from a cruiseship and they had us waiting at least 2 hours stating their boat was having difficulties to the ocean being rough and we could notice the water was very calm and all the boats paiing by with customers. Finally they accepted they only had available one departure and that was the main reasson they had us all there. This is unacceptable and unprosffeional and they should honor what the offera. We almost missed our ship because of them. Not a reliable and trustworthy company.

Huge scam!! - Huge scam ! First they bumped us off the morning tour onto the afternoon tour, then the tour was cancelled due to a little rain. Claimed it was too "rough" but the waves were small. We got no notice and even tried to call beforehand. Then they refused to refund our money!! They kept trying to offer us other services or tours on a different day which we couldn't do because it was our last day. We ended up cancelling the charge on our credit card. Do NOT book here!!
